A recent zoning amendment proposal for 41 Summit Street could result in the development of a new residential property in a quiet corner of Brooklyn known as the Columbia Street Waterfront District. As one of Brooklyn’s smallest neighborhoods, the area has not witnessed any major new developments compared to the surrounding Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and Cobble Hill communities.
Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 934 East Gun Hill Road in Williamsbridge, The Bronx. The site is six blocks away from the Gun Hill Road subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Arthur Franciosa of Franciosa Development LLC is listed as behind the application.
Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 951 Olmstead Avenue in Unionport, The Bronx. The site is fourteen blocks away from the Castle Hill Avenue subway station, serviced by the 6 trains. Matt Roth of the Heights Advisors will be responsible for the development.
Right next to the pedestrian walkway entrance for the Williamsburg Bridge, Essex Crossing is already reinventing Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The nine-building development will cost over one billion dollars and create nearly two million square feet across a six-acre area, and the aerial scope of construction is now expanding well beyond the initial first new two structures.
In an official groundbreaking event, Anbau Enterprises and COOKFOX Architects have celebrated the start of construction at 39 West 29th Street. The dual-tower, ground-up condominium development will rise 24 stories with a shared central courtyard just west of Madison Square Park.
